Introduction to Inn-to-Inn Trekking

Not a fan of dehydrated meals and camping pads? This European-style, inn-to-inn trek may be more your speed. You don’t have to sacrifice comfort while enjoying a multi-day trek. Indeed, in the Dolomites, a “backpacking trip” often means hiking from one rifugio (a backcountry inn that often serves meals) to the next, while a tour company handles your luggage transfers.

Overview of the Trek

Some U.S. outfitters have taken note, ensuring you can hike without the burdens of traditional camping. Cozy inns replace blustery tents, while Michelin-level meals delight your palate instead of dehydrated camping fare. That’s the essence of Wine Country Trekking’s five-day, four-night inn-to-inn adventure.

Detailed Itinerary

The journey begins near Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, where a luxury boutique hotel and a Michelin and Wine Spectator-recognized restaurant await. From there, you’ll cross the Golden Gate Bridge into Sausalito, enjoying a night in this quaint artist enclave.

As you proceed, the trek leads you towards Muir Beach and renowned Mount Tamalpais, culminating in the majestic redwoods of Muir Woods National Monument. The adventure concludes in the town of Mill Valley, where a delightful final night with an exquisite meal awaits.

During this trek, Wine Country Trekking meticulously manages all details, such as booking inviting country inns, coordinating gourmet meals, luggage transfers, and supplying trail maps, allowing you to fully concentrate on your daily hikes, typically spanning nine to ten miles.

Pricing and Inclusions

The self-guided trek comprises three full days of hiking alongside overnight accommodations, daily breakfast, comprehensive luggage transfers, and all necessary maps and trail notes, taxes, and gratuities included. Rates start at $1,275 per person, but can reach up to $2,450 depending on dates and occupancy. Typically, treks commence on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, though they can be tailored to suit your preferences.
